OUR MISSION

To enrich and advance the craft of writing for all writers through education, inspiration and community.

Diversity is our goal. We continue to seek ways to improve the diversity of our attendees and speakers, and to create a welcoming environment for all.

Getting published is the goal of every writer. We believe the craft of writing is the key to publication and a benefit to everyday life. It is our desire to educate and inspire writers to reach that goal. The Broadleaf Writers Association is, at its heart, a nonprofit educational organization of writers and writing professionals assembled to instruct and inspire writers in their efforts to refine their craft. We aim to educate writers through seminars, workshops, an annual conference, peer and critique groups, and community events utilizing professional writers, agents, and editors willing to lend their time and energy to help writers grow as artists.

The Southern region is deep in a varied collective of talented writers in need of a spotlight. Through our efforts, through the community of writers we cultivate, we hope to establish an atmosphere designed to bolster the skill and understanding of writers both young and old, from any genre.
